"I find it quite confusing tbh.. I can use 'Who is Nearby' and see folks within a few miles, yet their profile location is miles away. And yet I've seen folks that live in the same town (and I do live in a small town) be miles away according to 'Who is Nearby'" I so hope you are joking | |||

"Don't forget that Who's Near uses the GPS location of your phone, compared to the GPS location of their phone, rather than the (possibly deliberately inaccurate) Postcode location from profiles. So when I was in Barnstaple a few weeks ago on business, I'd have shown as being within 15 miles, but the distance on my profile would still show as 200-ish." Ahhhh that helps explain it | |||

"Depends how you define accurate... The closest proximity it shows is 'within half a mile'. If you DO mean accuracy, then as long as both phones are accurately passing their locations to Fab, then it'll be accurate." I have had people show up as "5 mins walk away" and even "3 mins walk away" yet when I look at their profile pictures, I don't recognise them as people who live near me at all!!! | |||

And yet I've seen folks that live in the same town (and I do live in a small town) be miles away according to 'Who is Nearby'" I'm currently showing as 200+ from my profile location. People do travel, go on holiday, visit family! | |||

"Correction: The closest proximity it shows is 'within quarter mile'." Interesting..mine says within a quarter of a mile.. One day I looked to find my next door neighbour on there.. | |||

"Last week my friend and I were sat next to each other and his said I was 20 miles away and mine said he was 30 miles away. " It depends if you have the 'location' switched on on your phone otherwise it goes by the postcode you give when you set up your account. I have seen people with postcodes that are 20 miles away show up regularly as within a mile. Just trying to preserve their anonymity I guess. | |||

"within touching distance today." Testing this now, with friends in the same room, we're only getting within a mile, but I've never seen that! | |||

"i never see a location shown at the bottom..." Odd, after a little while, I either get my location displayed or the "Your phone couldn't give us your current location." message. | |||

"I think it's pretty accurate as we are in SE Asia and most of you are over 6000 miles away No one seems to take much notice to the one on your profile though as still get so many messages asking whether we're up for a meet today lol" So if you want the meet you'd better get your skates on then! | |||

"If you have 'who's near' switched on you get two distance results." That's looking at a profile, not when you look at Who's Near. | |||

"Am not so keen on the fact that it uses as the crow flies distances. Due to the geography up here it means that I regularly get folk showing up as about 20 to 30 miles away when in reality they are nearer 60 to 70 by road! " It would be VERY difficult (and slow) to run everyone through a "Route planner" to work out a realistic distance though. | |||

Yes there's a minimal charge, so maybe only site supporters? My main gripe is when the other fabber is on another island. Happens frequently when in the Canaries.... | |||

"Happens in greece too " Yes we well know when we are sailing from Corfu we pick up Paxos and mainland Greece, but saying that we have met other user on holiday. | |||

"Correction: The closest proximity it shows is 'within quarter mile'." I’ve had “touching distance” show on that page | |||
